1) Dragon formed in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1972, with a line-up that featured Todd Hunter, guitarist Ray Goodwin, drummer Neil Reynolds and singer Graeme Collins; by 1974 several personnel changes had occurred including the introduction of Todd's brother Marc Hunter on vocals and Neil Storey on drums.
The band recorded two progressive rock albums in New Zealand, Universal Radio and Scented Gardens for the Blind, the second with an added guitar element from Robert Taylor. Paul Hewson also joined the band on keyboards and from this point Dragon's music took on a pop-flavoured AOR feel.
Dragon eventually landed a contract in Australia with CBS Records and relocated to Sydney in 1975.
Always a lightning rod for controversy, the band was rocked by the heroin overdose death of drummer Neil Storey only weeks after arriving in Australia, and their original manager was also deported back to New Zealand on drugs charges. By then, founding member Ray Goodwin had left the group.
Storey was replaced by Kerry Jacobson and, between 1975 and 1979, Dragon scored a string of major hits on the Australasian pop charts with songs including "April Sun in Cuba," "Are You Old Enough" and "Still in Love With You" and with the albums Sunshine and O Zambezi, making them one of the region's most popular rock acts.
Marc Hunter left Dragon in 1979 due to health problems which were, by then, seriously affecting his performances. New singer Richard Lee was recruited and the group recorded the Powerplay LP before breaking up in 1979.
Dragon was forced to reform in 1982 to pay off outstanding debts, but they stayed together and decided to have another shot at success. The band's second comeback single "Rain" proved to be a massive hit, but Kerry Jacobson left the band for health reasons and was replaced by British drummer Terry Chambers, formerly from the band XTC. American keyboard player and producer Alan Mansfield also joined the band at this point.
The group's 1984 album Body and the Beat became one of the biggest-selling albums in Australia and New Zealand and the band was restored to something close to its late 70s glory. Their public profile was further raised at this time by the Marc Hunter solo album Communication. Its title track became a moderate hit in Australia.
Paul Hewson left Dragon and tragically died of a drug overdose in New Zealand in January 1985, with Terry Chambers and Robert Taylor leaving Dragon some time after. American drummer Doanne Perry replaced Chambers, and Taylor was eventually succeeded by local Sydney guitar ace Tommy Emmanuel.
This lineup recorded the Todd Rundgren-produced Dreams of Ordinary Men album and toured Europe under the name Hunter in 1987, where they were somewhat misrepresented as a heavy metal band in some markets.
Dragon again split up in 1988 although a year later Todd and Marc Hunter and Alan Mansfield reconvened once again with guitarist Randall Waller and drummer Barton Price (ex-Models and The Choirboys) for the 1989 Bondi Road album, which actually featured Tommy Emmanuel's guitar playing.
Dragon continued to record and tour with varying line-ups centered around the Hunter brothers and Mansfield until 1997, although Todd Hunter had largely retired from the band to do soundtrack work.
In 1998, Marc Hunter was diagnosed with severe throat cancer and died later that year. The compilation CD Forever Young, released on Raven Records, captures many of the highlight tracks of his tumultuous career.
2) Dragon is one of the oldest Polish metal bands. They played thrash/heavy metal. Nowadays Dragon doesn't exist, but will be remembered by the oldest of Polish maniacs. Songs like "Kapłani Zdrady" ("The Priest of Betrayal") are central to the history of Polish metal.
3) Dragon is a trance project with Ralph Fritsch and Detlef Hastik, they released two songs: "Pandora" and "The Dragon."
4) Dragon is a Czech rock band from Lanškroun. Members are: Jirka Hurych (guitar), Milan Duspiva (singer), Jindra Helekal (bassguitar) and Radim Kuka (drums). They released four albums: Chtěl bych bejt ve tvý kůži (I want to be in your skin), ...bez vobalu (...without cover), Holky nevěrný (Faithless girls) and Začnu krást (I´ll start to steal).
5) Dragon is a Spanish Reggaeton y Hip-Hop artist from The United States he released his album called The New Face on October 28, 2008
6) Dragon was a Belgium progressive rock group that self-produced this album in 1976 in the UK on the Acorn label. Many fans in the genre consider it to be a lost jewel of prog with mellotron, killer guitar and excellent vocals.

Getting drunk and smoking tar
People there really put you down
Ooh babe you been dancing round
It don't matter what you do
I'm still in love with you
It don't matter what they say
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

All my dreams go up in smoke

I should never have opened up my mouth
It don't matter what you do
I'm still in love with you
It don't matter what they say
You can have me anyway
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
You say you'd call me up
When you get out of school
But you know thats a lie
You're so cruel so cruel
Oh no baby
Oh no baby no no no
Oh no baby
So let me in, it works out the same
Got no job and you got no game
I played my cards and I played them fast
You don't say it would never last
It don't matter what you do
I'm still in love with you
It don't matter what they say
You can have me anyway
I'm still in love with you

Went downtown to a local bar
I went to a bar in the city
Getting drunk and smoking tar
I was drinking heavily and smoking illicit drugs
People there really put you down
The people at the bar were insulting and degrading
Ooh babe you been dancing round
You were dancing around and enjoying yourself
It don't matter what you do
Your actions don't affect my feelings
I'm still in love with you
I still love you despite everything
It don't matter what they say
Other people's opinions don't matter
You can have me anyway
You can have me regardless of what others think
really cowboy it's no joke
It's no laughing matter
All my dreams go up in smoke
All my hopes and aspirations have been ruined
have a drink and I'm gettin sad
Drinking alcohol is making me feel more depressed
I should never have opened up my mouth
I regret speaking my mind and being vulnerable
You say you'd call me up
You promised to call me
When you get out of school
After you finish your studies
But you know thats a lie
You're lying to me
You're so cruel so cruel
You're being very heartless
So let me in, it works out the same
Accept me into your life, the outcome will be the same
Got no job and you got no game
I'm unemployed and you have no skills or charm
I played my cards and I played them fast
I made decisions quickly and without hesitation
You don't say it would never last
You didn't predict that our relationship wouldn't work out
still in love
I'm still in love with you
